The museums in the capital

November 17, 2013
Canadian Museum of Nature

Another one for nature lovers! In this museum, you will discover wild Canadian mammals, extreme extinct and living mammals, birds, fossils and, most of all, the ever so popular dinosaurs. You will be able to visit a ship and understand how the Earth was formed with the most ancient stone in the country and meteorites’ fragments. To top it up, the museum is located in a centennial gothic “castle” that has just received a prestigious international architecture prize.
